In reply to the discussion: I'm sick and fucking tired of the post-election "why Democrats lost" bullshit. [View all]TwilightZone

It may be annoying, but it's also necessary. What we did clearly didn't work.
Curiously, her largest SuperPAC contacted the campaign a couple weeks ago and said that they thought she was spending too much time focused on Trump. There's probably some truth to that. She was at her best when she was presenting her visions of the future and discussing issues.
As much as many on DU will disagree, ignoring Trump entirely might have been the best strategy. Contrary to claims, everyone knows who he is and beating them over the head with it for the 4,000th time may not have accomplished anything. Going heavily anti-Trump has never really worked - just ask his 2016/2024 primary opponents.
